Louis James VIrglnius.

A rather small audience greeted Mr..
Louis James and Miss Marie Vain.
wright last night at the Grand opera
house, but this was entirely owing to
the state Of the weather, which, misty
and sloppy, was anything but pleasant.
The audience was very appreoiative,
however, and showed to the Stars who
delineated that grand old classic drama
Of "Virginius" that they were pleased,
more than pleased. Mr.. Louis James.
in essaying to fill the place OF poor John
Mccullough in the public estimation, has
not failed. He is less ranting than was
Mccullough, and much more natural
and earnest, but none the less grand.
added to a fine physique and intel
lectusl expressive oountenance, he pos
sesses q mind that has grssped the true
conception Of the author and his voice
Is grandly flexible and under
superb control. His Virginius is supe-
rior to MoCullough's, aud those who
see him will unquestionably agree with
this statement.
Miss Marie wainwright, as Virginia, is
pretty, with q noble countenance that
can depict truthfully all the hopes, ears
and Joys OF love and tenderness. Added
to q well poised head upon q pair OF
beautiful shoulders, she possesses q
sparkling eye, full round cheeks, q
mouth full OF evenly set teeth and her
arm and hand are ideal types Of this great
charm In woman. Her conception Of
the part of Virginia was the sweetest
that 1t is possible to imagine, and pleas
ed her audience so that she elected
great applause.
The Dentatus Of Mr.. Harry Langdon
was true copy Of the author that MOTH
ing more net d be said oft. he lie an 40
tor OF great experience and has studied
his role so we'll that there could not be q
better Dentatus.
The lcilius Of Mr.. F. G. Mosley
showed q fine physique and handsome
face and his acting pleased the audience.
The Appius Claudius Of Mr.. L. c.
Huebner was lacking in strength,
/ although he acquitted himself very
oreditsbly. The remainder Of the COM
pany did their parts very nicely and
and oreditably.
This afternoon at the matinee whish
Is very well attended "Gretchen" is
being played and tonight "Hamlet"
will hold the boards. Tomorrow night
Mrs. d. p. Bowers opens her engage
/ ment.

Hanged Instead of Married.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 3l.-A special
from SOmerville, Morgan county, re-
ports the hanging there yesterday Of
George EdmundsOn. He murdered his
wife last year and had 1t given out she
was bitten by snake at the spring. Her
body was disinterred and foun to be
horribly mutilsted. His little daughter
had seen the murder committed. The
crime was aggravated by the fact that
his wife was crazy and that he killed
her to get he- out of the way so that he
could marry girl who was his mistress.
He narrowly escaped lynching, but was
convicted and hanged In due course OF
law. He confessed his crime.

The Dentists Wife.

Miss Fannie Rice, or as she is Off the
stage Mrs. DR.. Purdy, wife of the treas
urer Of the Carleton Opera company, be-
sides being a clever little songstress and
actress, is quite a musician, and plays
the cornet beautifully. The great Levy
has made many overtures to her to be-
come his support, but was refused. She
can also compose music and can do what
very few musicians can, she can write
the different parts for band from any
composition she may choose. DR.. Purdy
met her while he was dentist in Bos-
ton and married her.

The Concord club, of San Antonio. has

is stated at $1,000, and the directors are
Jacob Weber, Jno. A. Heitgen, Fritz
Schreiner, Louis A. Gembler, Henry

Shooting at the newspapers.

If some Of these windy orators who
make q point to talk about lack of en-
terprise OF newspapers would only
pay newspaper publishers what
they owe them, and spend with the
newspapers what they throw away on
dodgers" IL would be more becoming
to their own enterprise. "Wind" Is
cheap, and is about all the stock In
trade some OF these poor fellows have,
but IL takes cash to run newspaper,
and printers can't pay board with q
balloon full Of such gas.

BOLD HIGHWAYMEN
On the Streets and Pursuing their
Nefarious Business in Pub
lie Places.

Last night as DR.. Theo. Roziene was
returning from the theatre, he was at
tackled near the Government lot by q
man who approached from behind and
struck him . violent blow on the side OF
the head, apparently with q sand-bsg.
This placed him In q semi-unconscious
condition, and while in that state the
man went through him and relieved him
Of 1923.
An attempt was recently made to rob
Mr.. Theodore Waelder, one Of
A. ..Soholz's bar-keepers, on his
way home, but Theo. was "up
to snuff' and catching sight OF the ne
groes acting suspiclously, he picked up
q big rock and kept his eye upon them.
The would be robbers then concluded
they didn't want anything from him,
and let him alone.
There are too many Of the highway
men abroad just now, ard they ply their
trade With impunity and will do so until
they strike the man who evades the law
by carrying q pistol and find that II is
loaded. Then they will begin to think
the occupation dangerous and forsske 1t.
